A beautiful flower that is known for its delicate features. Grows mostly in the southern coastal areas of India. As for the image, i would have loved to avoid that bud behind the flower, but couldn't. The flower was fairly deep in the plant. In addition the cloudy weather led to very low lighting conditions. Appreciate your views and critique.
EXIF: Nikon D700, 105mm 2.8 VR, 1/90s, f/8, ISO 400, spot metering, hand held, no flash, cloudy morning
PS: opened exposure by 1 stop in ACR, levesl and curves for white point and contrast, and sharpening; burned the bud to lighten it.
Regards,
ramesh
